Cooking Steps

Chop the onion. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion for 1 - 2 minutes.
Add the chicken mince and fry for 3 - 4 minutes, separating it as you do so. It doesn't need to be completely done yet, as it will finish later in the oven. Drain the mince and set aside (see Tip).

Tip: be sure to drain the mince thoroughly, so as to prevent the pastry from getting soggy.

In the meantime, boil a shallow layer of salted water in a pot or saucepan.
Cut the head of the broccoli into florets and dice the stem.
Blanche the broccoli for 3 minutes, covered, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Transfer the broccoli and the mince to a bowl, then add the herbed cream cheese, the Sicilian herbs and the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well to combine.

Roll out the puff pastry and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Transfer the chicken-broccoli filling to the middle of the pastry, then cut strips along both sides of the pastry and fold the strips over the filling (see Tip).
Bake in the oven for 25 - 35 minutes.

Tip: if preferred, you can brush the top of the pastry with some milk, so as to create a shiny appearance when it's finished baking.

Cut the tomato into thin wedges. Finely chop the chives or use scissors if preferred.
In a salad bowl, combine the white balsamic vinegar with the extra virgin olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer the tomato and chives to the bowl, then toss well to combine with the dressing.
Serve the pastry with the salad alongside.
